Product Liability Claims (Defective Product Claims)

Product
liability claims have become more common as mass marketing,
production, and distribution have made it easier for
careless business to sell defective products all over the
World. These products can cause severe damages all
over the World as can be seen by recent news stories on
defective tires, defective pet food, defective toys,
defective medications, and
defective medical
devices.

Asbestos is a building material used in
insulation, home remodeling, ceiling tiles, and other
materials. The asbestos is removed from crushed serpentine
rock, just as other elements are removed from rock during
mining. Being exposed to asbestos, primarily through
inhaling the fibers, is associated with both malignant
cancers, such as mesothelioma and lung cancer, and benign or
non-malignant diseases, such as asbestosis, pleural plaques,
and benign pleural effusions. These diseases are diagnosed
with x-rays and other medical tests. For more

product claim information page.

Product Liability Claims (Dangerous Drug Claims)

Dangerous
and defective drug claims have become more common as the
pharmacuetical industry has become more powerful. With
large drug companies investing hundreds of millions of
dollars in developing new drugs, the businesses and people
whose careers are built on the success of these drugs
sometimes choose to ignore or hide research that shows
certain drugs are dangerous. At other times
overzealous marketing teams get control of a drug and in an
attempt to expand revenues and maximize profits extend the
uses of a drug beyond what is safe.

Defective
medical devices including
defective infusion pumps,
hernia mesh patches, defective joints, defective
implants, defective defibrillators, defective stents, and
other defective medical devices can cause devastating health
problems or even death. These medical implants can be
extremely beneficial, but when they are defective the
devices can cause serious problems

The mesh patches
that are being recalled were surgically implanted into
people to support the abdominal wall after hernia surgery
and have a “memory recoil ring” that makes it pop into shape
after it is inserted. The recall is due to ring
breakage, which can result in a sharp, exposed point inside
the abdomen, which can perforate the intestines, cause a
fistula, abcess, bowel obstruction, and in some cases sepsis
and death. If you have had a recent hernia
surgery and are experiencing fever, pain at the incision
site, abdominal tenderness or distention, nausea, contact
your doctor immediately. Anyone that has had a Bard
Composix Kugel Mesh Patch should receive notice from their
hospital or surgeon. However, this isn’t always the case.
Therefore, if you have had hernia surgery, it is probably a
good idea to contact your surgeon to find out if your patch
was recalled. The recall applies to the oval, large oval,
and large circle devices.
